I’m tracking the release of the Netscape 7.01 preview. I haven't tested it myself, but early feedback suggests there is no compelling reason to switch, as noted in reviews from sources like ZDNet.
I'm observing the shifting browser landscape where Internet Explorer holds a dominant lead over Netscape. I highlight recent statistics and speculate on whether Netscape 6 or Microsoft's antitrust split will impact these market share trends.
I evaluated Netscape, Opera, and Mozilla but returned to Internet Explorer for its integration with the A9 toolbar and Google Desktop. These search tools solved my offline browsing needs better than Opera’s built-in features.
I'm highlighting that the preview release of Internet Explorer 6 is now available. This early version offers a first look at the browser that would eventually dominate the web landscape for a decade after its release.
I'm switching from Internet Explorer to Opera 5.11, favoring its innovative zoom function and mouse gestures over IE's table-pasting capabilities. I hope Opera survives the browser wars as Netscape's influence continues to fade.
I highlight Cool Site of the Day and other early 2001 web discovery tools recommended by Google, including Netscape's "new and cool," USA Today’s hot sites, and the Glassdog directory for finding interesting content online.
